In the Western Conference finals, Golden State will face the victor of the Spurs and Rockets, who are tied 2-2.
Brown said before the game he hoped his team would get out to a fast start and the Warriors did exactly that.
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green recently stated that the Cleveland Cavaliers were playing "boring" games in the playoffs and that he wasn't that interested in watching them.
Hayward averaged a career-best 21.9 points per game this season, along with 5.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists, to help the Jazz finish 51-31 during the regular season and upped his averages to 22.9 PPG, 5.6 RPG and 3.6 APG to help Utah reach the second-round of the National Basketball Association playoffs.
With the Utah Jazz season over, fans are turning their attention to Gordon Hayward.
While a large sect of basketball fans are grumbling about a third straight NBA finals meeting between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors being almost set in stone, don't count Kobe Bryant among them.
The Warriors pushed their edge back to 18 points three times after the Jazz run - the final time on a put-back layup from Durant that put Golden State ahead 58-40. With eight games won, there are eight more to go if they wish to regain the title they won in 2015. As expected, the Dubs did end the series in style and booked their ticket to the Western Conference Finals for the third straight year. "If you were to say the Jazz would be a top-8 team this year at the beginning of the season, people would have laughed at you". "Whoever it is, we've got to try to fill that role". Golden State is already just one win away from ending the Utah Jazz' season.

When Jameson Taillon landed on the disabled list last week, the Pirates had plenty of options to replace him in the rotation. The Dodgers have scored 16 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in nine of their last 11 games.
Although San Antonio would potentially have two of the final three games on its home floor, Spurs venerable guard Manu Ginobili said the team needed to treat Tuesday's contest like it was a Game 7, not a Game 5.
And never has their defensive ferocity been more evident than the first quarter of closeout games.
"We are mostly impressed with how we are playing our brand of basketball", Green said.
Utah used a 16-2 run to get back in the game early in the second quarter. Then, he carried the Warriors to a Game 3 win with 38 points and 13 rebounds.
The Warriors made things much easier on themselves by playing smart basketball on both ends throughout the second half. Against the Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors, Cleveland has won by an average of 8.3 points. Hood left the game with a right knee sprain in the fourth quarter and did not return.
The Golden State Warriors and Utah Jazz Game 4 kicks off at 9:00 p.m.
As Kevin Durant showed with his masterful performance in Game 3, and as the Warriors showed when Durant went down with an injury during the regular season, this team does not need their offense to be firing on all cylinders to blow other teams out of the building.
